That sounds like a giant corporation compared to my many side gigs over the years. I love the development phase because it is something I control. Once the product is developed it also hits it's grave at the same time. Because I don't have the skills to get initial users.

Go to the Atlassian Marketplace, build a Forge app, publish it in March. Atlassian brings the customers. Enterprise customers. I’m perhaps being too optimistic, but at least you won’t have to do the customer part.

Why March?

Not sure if they are referring specifically to this, but as of February 2021, Atlassian will stop selling new on-premise Confluence licenses. I expect a lot of companies will have to transition their on-prem servers to the Atlassian Cloud hosting environment, opening up a lot of new customers to the Marketplace.

Because everyone's going to be looking for ways to keep their team running when they all switch to working remotely... wait...

This is underrated advice. There are quite a few platforms,like Salesforce AppExchange, where enterprise users are willing to pay top dollar for what often seems absurdly simple functionality. Much better than trying to compete with 2 million apps on Google/Apple app store.

Are your projects still up? Can I take a look at what you've built?

https://DiscoFlip.com is what I published most recently (planning to do a Show:HN next week after couple bugs are ironed out). The other ones have been taken down over time.
